FW: relink?

You may not have to relink at all, if you are not really changing anything.
See if your db's come up ok and if not, relink. Relinking is not very time
consuming, IIRC so you might just want to do it for stuff and giggles.

so they just told me that they're going to "rebuild" the one solaris
server over the weekend, if i remember correctly, any changes to the
OS will require a "relink -all" before i bring all the databases back
up. or has bit rot set in and i'm misremembering?

if we don't change any of the file locations for the home or the data
files that's all i should need, right? please?;-)
